Mix Artist

In the heart of the Byron Shire, just 5 min from Mullum town centre, lies one of the most professional music recording studios on the Australian East Coast. The Mix Artist recording facility is a custom-built recording studio, designed and built by world-class studio designer John Sayers. The large control room and the three independent live rooms are acoustically-treated to the highest standards. The studio has plenty of daylight, and line-of-sight between all studio rooms. The centre piece of the studio is a large scale analogue console with 36 inline channels plus a beautiful selection of high-end outboard gear. The studio is operated by award-winning engineer Jan ‘Yarn’ Muths (Fyah Walk, Jesse Morris Band), in addition to freelance engineers Jim Bonnefond (Kool & The Gang, Savage Garden, The Cockroaches), Saphia Smereka (Bernard Fanning) and Nathan Stanborough (From Crisis To Collapse).

More than a Play

Piggery plans on exhibition

It was once the largest piggery in the southern hemisphere – a sprawling operation covering 33 acres. Now, the former Yager’s piggery looks set to host an exclusive high-end restaurant.

The Saruzu Quartet are a fiery flamenco-tango-jazz ensemble. Their interpretation of the rich harmonies of Argentine tango, the wild improvisations of gypsy jazz and the fire and grace of flamenco is exhilarating. Evocative of a 1920s Paris cafe scene filtered through an edgy and contemporary sensibility, the Saruzu Quartet is a celebration of the musical passions of its members – renowned violinist Shenton Gregory, sensual flamenco dancer and fiery percussionist Simone Pope, ferociously cool jazz bass player Andrew Shaw and laidback guitar virtuoso Andrew Veivers.

The Saruzu Quartet’s second self-produced recording – Segundo – slinks onto your stereo, impeccably clad and very well heeled, demanding your head twist twice to take in its smooth delivery.

Special guest vocalist Kacey Patrick (Stringmansassy) lends her angelic tones to a mesmerising remake of the Duke Ellington tune Caravan and the hypnotic Historia de un Amor. Inspired and exciting.
